Babys-Mart specialise in only the best manufacturers for example Silver Cross Pushchairs, Mamas and PapasPushchairs, Bebe Confort Pushchairs, Jane Pushchairs, Chicco Pushchairs, Cosatto Pushchairs and Graco Pushchairs. In general a pushchair carries the baby in a forward facing direction away from the parent.

You could classify a buggy as a more compact version of the pushchair.

Other pushchairs include All Terrain Pushchairs or 3 wheelers as they are also know. In general these all terrain pushchairs offer a larger seat for baby to sit and forward face. All terrain pushchairs will have large wheels with either inner tubes or solid tyres 3 wheeler pushchairs have become very popular recently with parents wanting the freedom to explore the British countryside with their new baby.

PRAMS

Prams were first used back in the Victorian era and were first known as perambulator, this was of course shortened to Pram. Prams have changed little over the years and some old prams companies are still producing their prams today, for example Silver Cross are still making their handmade coach built Silver Cross Prams. They also now have a more contemporary division making lighter prams and pushchairs. As the Pram developed over the years suspension was added and breathable mattresses for comfort.
The modern pram now is full of features for the comfort of the baby and the convenience of the parents. Babys-Mart sells the best prams on the market from Silver Cross Prams and Mamas and Papas Prams. Silver Cross offer two styles of pram; the Silver Cross Freeway and the Silver Cross Sleepover. Both styles of Silver Cross Pram have the choice of two chassis. Either the large fixed wheel Silver Cross Classic Chassis or the more modern swivel wheel Silver Cross Linear Chassis. Babys-Mart have noticed a real trend towards customers preferring the Silver Cross Linear Chassis. Both the Silver Cross Freeway and Sleepover lie completely flat with baby facing towards the parents. The seat unit or body as it is sometimes known can rotate 180 degrees so baby can forward face. The Silver Cross Sleepover also has a ventilated base to allow baby to sleep over night when the seat unit is in the carrycot mode.
The Mamas and Papas Pram is slightly different in that there are two separate seat units or bodies. The Mamas and Papas Ultima 3 in 1 also has the choice of either a large fixed wheeled chassis called the Mamas and Papas X-Cel Chassis or the more modern swivel wheel option called the Mamas and Papas MPX Chassis.
